Hermione straddles the Muggle and Magical worlds as a medical researcher and Healer about to make a big discovery. Draco is an Auror assigned to protect her from forces unknown - to both of their displeasure.

Features hyper-competent, fiery Hermione and lazy, yet dangerous, Draco. Slow burn.

I read this on AO3 and loved it so much that I decided to bring it here and share it. I do not own this and I do not take credit for it I simply wish to share it here. This story belongs to isthisselfcare on AO3. I also do not own any of the art and each artist will be accredited under their respective work.

65 parts Complete Mature
Hailey Groves never expected her sixth year at Hogwarts to be anything but ordinary. A Slytherin with sharp wit and loyal friends, she was used to navigating the complexities of Hogwarts life. But something about this year felt different. Off. Like something was waiting in the shadows-something she couldn't yet name. Then Draco Malfoy noticed her. He'd spent years keeping his distance, throwing jabs and cold stares. But now he was watching her differently-like he saw something familiar. Something fractured. Her friends said he was dangerous. But Hailey knew better. She saw through the mask: a boy who was protecting his life but losing his mind, who moved like survival was his only option. A boy who'd been forced into darkness before he understood its cost. And Hailey? She wasn't afraid of it. She stepped into it willingly, determined to help him carry the weight. Draco had secrets. But so did Hailey. And when the truth about her mother's death begins to unravel-when the web of lies surrounding her bloodline is finally exposed-Hailey must decide how deep she's willing to go for answers... and whether love is enough to keep her above water. Trigger warnings: depression, death, violence, alcohol, self harm, and attempt of suicide. (This is my first fanfic, so please be kind! And don't get scared by how many chapters there are. The first chapters are really short and then they get much longer.) Most characters belong to J. K. Rowling

It's been fifteen years since Draco last saw Potter, but here he is in Draco's Ocularistry clinic, claiming one of Draco's products malfunctioned while he was painting and cost him an eye. Draco's ready to fit Potter with a prosthesis and send him on his merry way, but then the rest of Draco's patients start seeing mysterious symbols through their eyes, and the resulting blow to Draco's public reputation drags Scorpius's promising campaign to be the Ministry of Magic's official Creature Liaison through the mud. Draco is determined to fix it. If that means trudging through a boggy moor in search of a fictional species Luna thinks is causing their problems, Draco will just have to pluck up the courage, march in with a team of Gryffindors, and be ready to battle any beast they meet. Even if that beast looks less like the large, bipedal talking toads they find and more like the Ministry of Magic as a whole. * Tags: Canon typical violence, non-graphic descriptions of injuries to eyes, EWE, disability, POC Harry Potter, Black Astoria Greengrass, mixed Scorpius Malfoy, Black Hermione Granger, Black Rolf Scamander, original creatures, magical environmentalism, unique jobs, middle-aged Drarry, 72k words Pairings: Draco/Harry, Draco/Astoria (past, amicable divorce), Lavender/Parvati, Luna/Rolf, Ron/Hermione Disclaimer: All Harry Potter characters herein are the property of J.K.
